Best Mods For Hades 2

by

Okay, so *Hades 2* is officially here! After being in Early Access for a little over a year, the full 1.0 version dropped, and everyone’s going crazy for it. Seriously, the gameplay is so deep, there are tons of different ways to build your character, and the story is fantastic. But even though it’s amazing as is, the modding community is already hard at work making it even better or just switching things up – which is awesome, honestly!

Players have always used mods to customize their games, and *Hades 2* is no exception. While no one has created a completely new game within *Hades 2* yet, there are still plenty of worthwhile mods to explore if you’re looking to change things up. Here are ten of the best mods currently available for *Hades 2*.

Fast Keepsake Upgrades

More Power, Faster

Keepsakes are items in *Hades 2* that help players maximize Melinoë’s abilities during each playthrough. You equip them before starting a run, and they grow stronger as you use them in battles. Getting and upgrading Keepsakes takes effort, as you’ll need to give Nectar to other characters to unlock them.

As a fan, I really appreciate mods that speed things up! This one’s awesome because it lets you max out all your Keepsakes after just one fight. It’s a huge time-saver, and honestly, it’s great knowing that even if you have a bad run, you’re still making progress on powering up your abilities.

No Harvest Minigames Or Animations

Don’t Waste Your Time

During each playthrough, players can take part in small minigames to collect useful resources like fish and Driftwood. These items are important because they help unlock upgrades and keep your ship, the Melinoë, running smoothly. However, the minigames can sometimes be disruptive, briefly pausing the action.

This mod fixes the issue by completely removing the minigames. Instead of playing them, players can simply interact with fishing spots or resources to instantly add them to their inventory. This makes gathering resources much faster and smoother, keeping the game flowing nicely.

Free Incantation Upgrades

No Better Price Than Free

  • Mod Link

As you play through *Hades 2*, you’ll unlock the Cauldron. This lets you create Incantations, which are powerful abilities that can help you in many ways. Some Incantations summon allies to fight alongside you, while others let you open special Warded gateways. No matter which Incantation you choose, it will be a valuable asset.

This mod improves Incantations by removing the cost of upgrading them. Now, all upgrades are free, letting players use them whenever they like. This simplifies resource management and eliminates the need to track upgrade requirements in the Cauldron.

Thirsty Weapons

Bone-Collecting Never Felt So Good

  • Mod Link

Grave Thirst is a helpful feature in *Hades 2*, especially for beginners. It lets players earn more Bones during each playthrough, which are then used to strengthen Melinoë’s abilities. While it’s possible to collect Bones without it, Grave Thirst makes earning them much easier.

Currently, the powerful ‘Grave Thirst’ effect can only be applied to one weapon at a time, potentially forcing players to use weapons they dislike just to take advantage of the bonus. This mod fixes that by allowing *all* weapons to benefit from Grave Thirst. Now, players can freely choose their preferred weapon and still enjoy the full benefits of the effect.

Bountiful Harvest

Reap What You Sow

Gardening is a fun side activity in *Hades 2*, but players might find waiting for plants to grow and collecting the necessary resources a little tedious.

This mod simplifies gameplay by making plants grow faster and giving you better rewards for each harvest. It streamlines the whole process, making it much less frustrating.

More Resources

Getting More For Less

  • Mod Link

Gathering resources in Hades 2 can be challenging, often taking many attempts and relying on good fortune. This can be frustrating for players who prefer a smoother experience.

This mod makes it much easier to gather resources throughout a playthrough. You’ll get more from almost every source, letting you quickly build up Melinoë’s reserves instead of struggling to do so.

No Daedalus Hammer Restrictions

One Of The Best Pickups Appears Everywhere

  • Mod Link
  • Created By: BlueRaja

The Daedalus Hammer is often considered the best item players can find during a playthrough. It improves either a weapon’s standard attack or its special ability, dramatically increasing its power and making even simple attacks much more effective.

In *Hades 2*, you normally find a maximum of two Daedalus Hammers during each playthrough. This mod changes that by removing the limit, meaning it’s now possible to find more than two – letting you create even more powerful and unique character builds.

No Resource Spawning Restrictions

Get More With Every Run

  • Mod Link
  • Created By: BlueRaja

Hades 2 manages to strike a good balance between being challenging and rewarding players with a clear sense of progress. It does this partly by carefully controlling the number and location of resources that appear. For example, each area only gets one seed at a time, and you need to explore five new areas before another seed can spawn in a previously visited one.

This mod makes it easier to find resources like ores, plants, and seeds by removing the limits on where they can appear. This lets you gather more materials without having to travel as far, helping you progress through the game much faster.

Free Cosmetic Upgrades

Interior Decorating Made Easy

  • Mod Link
  • Created By: EmSix

Developing the central hub in *Hades 2* is a simple and enjoyable activity. It makes the hub more vibrant and unlocks helpful upgrades to aid players during their playthroughs.

As a big fan of customizing things in games, I’m really excited about this mod! It basically unlocks all the cosmetic upgrades for free. Honestly, it’s a game-changer – no more endless grinding for resources, you can just focus on making your hub look exactly how you want it. It’s a simple change, but it makes the whole experience so much smoother and more enjoyable.

Free Music Purchases

Choose Your Soundtrack

  • Mod Link
  • Created By: EmSix

The Music Maker is a character players can call upon using the Cauldron. When summoned, they’ll appear in the Crossroads Taverna and play a selection of songs that players can purchase. These songs are purely for enjoyment and add a musical atmosphere between game runs, without affecting gameplay.

This mod unlocks all songs in the game for free, giving you complete access to the songbook. It’s a small change, but it adds a bit of convenience and lets you personalize your gameplay experience.
